Our First Field Trip is Coming!
December 4th, students will have the opportunity to go to the Manitoba Museum for an all day field trip. At the museum, students will explore the science gallery, view a science demo introducing our next unit: electricity, view a planetarium show that describes the planets and technology in space as well as the chance to view the historical section of the museum and learn about Canada's past. It will be a very full day.
Please send students to school with a non-microwavable lunch. There is nowhere to purchase lunch at the museum.

Sewing Success
All of the stuffed monsters have been completed in for our art project - and they look great. Well done!
Mission Impossible
Last week students were tasked with a mission to build a prototype container strong enough to protect a rocket's fuel supply from impact on take-off. The mission was made even more difficult, almost impossible, by limiting students building supplies to cardboard, popsicle sticks, toothpicks, glue and tape that they had to purchase with the limited budget of 10 class dollars. Students used their adding and subtracting decimals skills as well as their problem-solving skills to overcome these challenges and build their prototype. All structures were tested with our model rocket that same day! Ask your son or daughter if his or her structure survived.
Warmed and Read
Reading Celebration Day was great fun. Students spent the day lounging in their pajamas and snuggled in their blankets reading. Students read to themselves, they read in groups, they read in French and English and they also listened to short stories and novels being read to them. In the afternoon, everyone enjoyed a warm beverage (marshmallows included!)
READO - (the at home reading BINGO sheet) is due Monday
